Lumbar Support? Ay Or Nay?

Is the 'Electric Lumbar Support' worth the money? I might be missing the fact that you get the lumbar support either way, and this only upgrades it to electric - but my understanding is it's electric lumbar or no lumbar at all.

I can't really comment as I've never really tried a car without it for a long journey, but I like that I have it. Probably one of the things that you'd really miss if you didn't have it - I like to adjust it sometimes on a long journey if things are getting a bit uncomfortable.

Yes. Used to have to stuff a rolled up hoodie between my back and seat on long motorway journeys in my old Civic Type-R. Lumbar support was the first thing I specified on the A3! It's not expensive and it's there if you need it. Plus it's both front seats.

Had on my 2002 A6
I replaced that car with an X5 which didn't have it and I really missed it, although the seats were very good in every other way.
It was a no-brainer to add it to the spec of the A3 and I'm very glad I did.

Definitely recommend it. Not much money and I do use it more than I thought I would - not the 'adjust once and forget' feature you might think. AND you get it on the passenger seat which I didn't realise!
